Sidney Poitier was born on this day in 1927. It still blows my mind that Sidney directed the Gene Wilder/Richard Pryor prison comedy Stir Crazy. That's right: they're bad.

🎬 Stir Crazy (1980) Wrong place. Wrong time. One prison sentence. What follows is pure chaos as Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor turn prison life into comedy gold, proving that sometimes the funniest moments come from the worst situations. Stir Crazy isn’t just a prison comedy — it’s two legends bouncing off each other at full speed.

On this day in 1927, actor and film director Sidney Poitier, was born. Here is a powerful interview from him in 1968 addressing how he was being treated by the press. He rips into journalists after only being asked questions surrounding race.

Grossburger in Stir Crazy (1980) is a reminder that first impressions can often be wrong. I'm always struck by how beautifully the “Down in the Valley” sequence is staged; then I remember Sidney Poitier directed it, and it all makes sense.

Trading Places is 42 years old today - A THREAD This classic comedy was originally penned for Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor, but the idea died after Pryor 'unfortunately set himself on fire.' So it was passed to Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy... and comedy history was made. 1/

In 1980, Richard Pryor agreed to an interview with a Mormon high school public access station while on his lunch break from filming STIR CRAZY in Arizona, but literally none of the footage was usable for tv because Pryor was high on cocaine and let it all loose

Happy birthday to Sidney Bechet, born on this day in 1897! He was one of the first important soloists in jazz, and first recorded several months before trumpeter Louis Armstrong.

Sidney Poitier was born 99 years ago today. After an 11-yr break from acting, he returned in 80s hidden gem Shoot to Kill (Deadly Pursuit in the UK). This buddy, fish-out-of-water survival thriller is still taut, stylish, and gripping and his chemistry with Tom Berenger is great

In 1968, Sidney Poitier was at a press conference at the height of his career. He made it very clear how he felt about the press. Funny that I had to find this on a discarded film reel with 1000s of books, Microfiche and films. Now you can see it.

Ellen Burstyn performance in “Requiem for a Dream” (2000) still haunts me to this day. It honestly blows my mind that she didn’t win the Oscar for it.

In Wreck-It Ralph, the reveal that King Candy was Turbo the whole time remains as my favorite plot twist in film history. It still blows my mind to the day, because all the red flags warning us were there.
